April and May (4月と5月)

I am too tired to write this in Japanese today...haha! Since I haven't updated in a while, I am going to sum up the last couple months in this entry. And from now on, I will try to post every weekend until I leave Japan.

School started in the beginning of April. I had a good feeling about this semester when it first started. Many things have happened this semester so far.


My first day of class started at my Itabashi Campus with my Korean Class. At first I was only going to take it with Sumino, but Ryota decided to take the class with us because he had the free time. After class I was going to go to Tokyo with Kaitlin for Cherry Blossom viewing, but it ended up not working out. So instead, Sumino invited me to the Cherry Blossom viewing barbecue with the International Circle from my university. I went there and met many many Japanese students. Most couldn't speak English very well, so I was able practice my Japanese a lot. After the barbecue, Sara joined me and Sumino for some bowling with the gang, but afterwards Sara and Sumino went back home. I ended up going to the Izakaya (a place where you can drink unlimited alcohol for 2 hours) and ended up being the only foreigner there. It was a little overwhelming at first, but I got over it quickly! Haha!



Other than that, the semester is going pretty well. My classes are really easy (as I thought they would be) and I have a lot of friends to talk to this semester. The weekends are always busy. It seems like I never have any free time anymore. I am not complaining though. Haha!

There have also been many parties here at my dorm and I have gone to Tokyo many times to drink with friends. I can't write every detail, but I will be posting pictures of the past events these past 2 months. Every Saturday has been spent with Sara, Ryota, and Sumino because we are now all taking the class together at my Itabashi campus. So we usually go around in Tokyo and explore new things, eat new foods, and see movies. A lot has happened, but I cannot express in words everything I have done. The pictures will explain everything, including my feelings. As mentioned earlier, expect more detailed updates with many pictures!



But today, I went with Kelly and Louis(friend from the UK) to Ginza (central Tokyo) and ended up in Odaiba(South Tokyo) just by walking. It was a looong walk but it was a lot of fun! I was able to see some new sites of Tokyo. Pictures from this will be posted as well.
